SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 609,430, dated August 23, 1898.

Application filed April 24, 1897. Serial No. 633,692. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARLO GUATTARI, engineer, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 7 O Milkwood road,Herne Hill, London, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Generation of Motive Power, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to lessen the consumption of fuel'in the generation of motive power by the employment in the boiler of water impregnated with a compound of carbonic-acid gas whereby the generation of pressure is rendered possible with an expenditureof heat energy very much below that by which it would be possible to generate steam in the ordinary way. The use of carbonic-acid gas alone for this purpose would not, however, be practicable, as the gas would be quickly driven off from the water on the application of heat, with the result that the gas would become lost and the water be left in its natural condition.

The invention consists, essentially, in the addition to the water of a compound resulting from the combination of carbonic-acid gas and a reagent, whereby the separate evolution of the carbonic-acid gas is prevented and thereupon condensing the combined gases and vapors after they have been utilized. The reagent employed is preferably ethene chlorid, commonly known by the name of Dutch liquid, and the method of operating, which will be described with reference to the accompanying diagram, is as follows:

The carbonic-acid gas is generated in the I ordinary way in a suitable closed receiver A, provided with an agitator, the receiver containing a carbonate in suspension in Water, to which hydrochloric or sulfuric acid is added from a receiver B, the receiver A being provided with a stoppered mouth, at which the ethene chlorid is introduced. The proportions which are found suitable are: water, twenty-eight liters whiting,seven kilograms acid, two liters; ethene chlorid, onehundred and forty grams. Butl do not limit myself in this respect. From the gas-generating vessel A the resulting compound gas passes off through a pipe or (provided with a checkvalve) and is injected through a perforated pipe 1) into a saturater, being a closed receiver O, filled with water to be impregnated with, say, two or three times its own volume of the compound gas at the pressure at which 5 5 it Was' generated-that is to say, without being first compressed or liquefied. From the saturater O the solution or water now charged with the compound gas is drawn by the feedpump D and supplied to any ordinary boiler E, fired in the usualmanner. From the boiler the combined steam and gases therein evolved are supplied to an engine K, and after doing work therein are exhausted into a surface condenser F, of any suitable construction,

cooled by water in the ordinary way, wherein condensation takes place without separation of gas, and from which the condensed solution or water still charged with gas is extracted by an air-pump G and delivered to a receiver H, (which may be open to the atmosphere,) from whence it is drawn by any suitable steam-pump I and returned to the receiver O for use again.

The cycle above described may be repeated over and over again continuously for any required number of hours, it being only necessary to repeat the operation of generating the compound of carbonic-acid gas and ethene chlorid in receiver A as often as may be necagent acting to prevent the evolution of the carbonic-acid gas,thereupon utilizing the said gaseous medium so generated and subsequently condensing the said gaseous medium pound formed by carbonic-acid gas and a re- 9 to aliquid form which liquid may thereupon be again evaporated and used as before.

CARLO GUATTARI.
